Turns out, caffeine is not ruining my life. I just read this:
“Current research has led to the formulation of the following rank ordering of drugs, in terms of degree of harm to the individual and to society:”
FYI: The first one is the worst.
Alcohol- Tobacco
- Sedative-hypnotics
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Tranquilizers
- Narcotic-analgesics other than heroin
- Amphetamines
- PCP
- Volatile Substances
- Hallucinogens
- Marijuana (Cannabis sativa)
- Antihistamines
- Xanthines
There were all sorts of disclaimers on the study. But we don’t need their rationalizations. All you need to know is that booze you’re chugging is worse in the eyes of the judgers than the pot your neighbor smokes or the heroin your cousin shoots. You want to argue? Deny it? That’s the first sign…
Cheers!
